    Ep 97 | The AI Blueprint of the 95% Club.

    Maintenance has become the single biggest drain on time, attention, and sanity in property management. Not because the work is hard, but because most of it is still being handled manually. In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, Pablo Gonzalez is joined by former property management owner Tyler Nelson, Head of Account Operations at Vendoroo, to break down The AI Blueprint of the 95% Club — a four-pillar framework used by operators who’ve automated nearly their entire maintenance workflow without losing control or the human touch. This episode is not a software walkthrough. It’s a systems-level explanation of how high-performing PMs think differently about AI, automation, and ownership, especially when 60% of the work is just noise. You’ll learn: 🧠 Why AI must be treated like a hire, not a chatbot 🤖 The shift from Generative AI (answers) to Agentic AI (goals) ⚙️ How “the agent that never rests” eliminates follow-ups and back-and-forth 📊 How data trains system logic to reach 90–95% automation 🎧 Listen now if you’re ready to stop doing maintenance coordination manually and start building the system that earns you entry into the 95% Club. 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website Chapters: 00:00 The Biggest Drain on Property Managers 00:34 Introducing the 95% Club 01:35 The Role of AI in Property Management 02:02 From Tools to Teammates: Tyler's Insights 03:49 Achieving 90-95% Automation 04:35 Training Your AI for Success 06:15 The Importance of an AI Receptionist 07:54 The Ultimate Goal: Human Sentiment and Owner Relationships 08:17 Conclusion: Time to Build

    Ep 96 | The 2026 Growth Playbook w/ Stacey Salyer & Tony Cline

    The era of the "hustle" is ending. If your 2025 strategy was to grind for 10 new doors a month, fix every fire yourself, and say "yes" to every owner, you are playing a game that is becoming impossible to win. In this powerful year-end retrospective, Pablo Gonzalez sits down with industry leaders Stacey Salyer and Tony Cline to dissect the massive identity shift happening in property management right now: The move from Operator to Acquirer and from Manager to Conductor. They break down why buying a 300-door portfolio is easier than selling your way there, and how to stop "moving the mud" of broken operations so you can finally quit rowing the boat and start steering the ship. You'll learn: 🍝 Why so many PMs felt chaotic in 2025 and how to focus for 2026. 📈 Why you should stop hustling for single doors and start buying portfolios. 🧹 Why implementing new software won’t fix a broken team structure (Moving the Mud) 🎯 Why you must be brave enough to alienate 90% of the market to win. If you felt like 2025 was your "Spaghetti Year"—throwing things at the wall to see what sticks—this episode is your blueprint for cleaning up the mess and building a machine for 2026. 🎧 Listen now! 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🤝 Connect with Stacey Salyer & Tony Cline on LinkedIn 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website 🚀 Vendoroo 90 days free promo (AI receptionist, AI triage, AI troubleshooting, and work order creation):  https://info.vendoroo.ai/2025-free-offer/ Offer ends Dec 31.

    Ep 95 | The AI-First Org Chart: How Modern PM Teams Are Actually Being Built

    AI isn’t “coming” anymore. It’s here. So now the question isn’t “Will AI replace my team?” It’s this: “What does my org chart look like when AI owns the tasks?” In this special mini-episode compilation of Property Management Frame Breakers, Pablo Gonzalez with Reza Keshavarzi, Jay Berube and Bill Davy break down how to build the AI-First Org Chart from the ground up—so you can stop guessing, stop bolting tools onto broken workflows, and start designing a team where humans and AI actually collaborate. You’ll get the clearest structural blueprint we’ve seen yet for how PM companies evolve from local → remote → agentic AI—without losing trust, culture, or the human edge. You’ll learn: 🧭 How to redesign your org chart when “task execution” becomes a commodity and what humans should own instead 🧠 Why the winners won’t be “AI experts,” but human experts who can translate real-world nuance into AI behavior 🏗️ What the AI-First Org Chart actually looks like—and the 3 human roles that become irreplaceable (community builder, storyteller/educator, hard-conversation specialist) 🛠️ How to onboard and manage AI like a real teammate—what to watch, what to train, and when to let it drive This isn’t a theory episode. It’s a blueprint episode. Because the companies that win won’t be the ones asking “Should we use AI?” They’ll be the ones who can answer one question clearly: “Where does AI sit on our org chart and what does that free our humans to become?” 🎧 Listen now to see how the AI-First Org Chart gives you a structure you can actually build from. 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website 🚀 Vendoroo 90 days free promo (AI receptionist, AI triage, AI troubleshooting, and work order creation)  Offer ends Dec 31.

    What if the reason your PM business feels like chaos isn’t your team… it’s the type of doors you manage?

You’ll learn: 🔥 Why “bad doors” create the firefight (and how to escape it) 📈 The growth math: why revenue per door beats more doors 🏗️ What turnkey actually means when you’re vertically integrated 🤝 How to earn premium trust with investor language + investor-grade operations ⚙️ Why tech is a credibility signal, not a shiny object 🎧 Listen now if you’re ready to stop scaling stress and start building an investor-grade PM business that compounds. 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🤝 Connect with Peter Tverdov on LinkedIn 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website 🚀 Vendoroo 90 days free promo (AI receptionist, AI triage, AI troubleshooting, and work order creation):  https://info.vendoroo.ai/2025-free-offer/ Offer ends Dec 31.

    Ep 93 | The Injustice Of The Holidays For Property Managers & A Way To Break Out!

    What if the most unfair part of property management… is the part no one talks about? The holidays. While everyone else is unplugging, property management teams are on-call because the “small” maintenance issue that’s no big deal in September becomes a full-blown emergency when tenants have family in town and the oven dies at 6 PM on Christmas Eve. In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, Vendoroo's Chief Evangelist, Pablo Gonzalez, calls out the holiday injustice baked into the PM operating model and shares a practical way to break out of the firefight this season, not “someday.” You’ll hear the real story of how Vendoroo evolved from onboarding like a SaaS company… to onboarding like a new teammate: an AI agent that can plug into your PMS, learn how you actually run maintenance (vendors, escalation rules, real policies), and start taking work off your team’s plate within an hour. You’ll learn: 🎄 Why the holidays expose the “always-on” trap in property management 📞 How an AI voice receptionist can handle calls, route requests, and create work orders (without phone trees) 🧠 The difference between AI that assists and AI that owns outcomes 🛠️ How troubleshooting + triage reduces unnecessary work orders and lowers your open WO count ⏱️ Why this isn’t “software to learn”, it’s a teammate that raises its hand when it’s unsure To make it real, Vendoroo is offering a 90-day risk-free trial of its entry-level package built to give your team breathing room during the most stressful time of the year.

    Ep 92 | Convincing Your Clients To Buy More Rentals: The Case For It w/ Justin Anderson

    What if the market isn’t as expensive as it looks? And what if, beneath the headlines, the rates, and the noise, real estate is actually on sale right now? In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, investor and author Justin Anderson joins Pablo Gonzalez to break down one of the most eye-opening frameworks we’ve ever brought to the show: Why real estate has never been cheaper in real terms… and why almost no one sees it. Using gold as a value yardstick (instead of the dollar), Justin reveals how today’s market—despite record prices—may be the greatest buying opportunity of the last 70+ years. But this episode isn’t just about deals. It’s about identity, freedom, and the mindset shift property managers must make to build the wealth they help others create. You’ll learn: ✨ Why “scaling to 50 doors” is a trap 🎯 How to distinguish between a Pioneer (who gets arrows in their back) and a Settler (who makes money) 🏡 Why your next big move isn’t finding a new client, it’s buying your next rental If you’re a property manager, an investor, or someone who feels stuck waiting for “the right time,” this conversation will change how you see the market and your future...forever. 🎧 Listen now and discover why the next best investment decision of your life might be the one you make today. 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🤝 Connect with Justin Anderson on LinkedIn 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website Chapters: 00:42 How Industry Events Reveal Where the Money Is Going Next 02:17 Why Top Operators Don’t Just Attend Events - They Position Themselves 03:49 What PMs MUST Know About Today’s Market 03:59 The Investor PMs Are Learning From Right Now 05:00 The Golden Age of Real Estate (and Why PMs Win First) 09:57 The Value Hack Every PM Should Use to Advise Investors 18:22 How to Talk to Owners Who Think Prices Are “Too High” to Buy 25:18 Why PMs Should Stop Trying to Scale Like Gurus 36:31 Investor Lens vs. Homeowner Lens 37:1How PMs Identify Appreciation Before It Happens 49:18 Your Real Retirement Plan 55:37 The 2 Purposes of Money Every PM Should Teach Investors 01:03:10 Where PMs Are Headed Next (and Why It’s Bigger Than Management)

    Ep 91 | "AI Won't Fix Your Process" Is Old AI Thinking!

    That belief is everywhere in property management, and it’s understandable. Most AI people have experienced was layered onto legacy software, automating bad rules faster and relying on burned-out humans to hold everything together. This episode was inspired by a thoughtful post from Peter Lohmann, who rightly pointed out that businesses should identify their biggest constraint before rushing into AI. Constraint theory matters. Where this conversation picks up is the next question: what if our expectations of AI are anchored to what it used to be? In this episode, we explore the difference between AI as a tool and AI as a teammate. One that can do the work, ask better questions, and surface gaps between what teams think is happening and what’s actually happening, especially in maintenance. The takeaway is simple: the right AI doesn’t need perfect standards before it starts. It can help teams discover what their standards really are. 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Content Overview 00:20 Highlighting Peter Lowman's Post 01:18 Welcome to the Podcast 01:48 AI in Property Management 02:18 Challenges with Traditional AI 04:26 The Role of Agentic AI 05:42 Onboarding with AI 06:30 The Importance of Standards 08:11 Conclusion and Call to Action

    Ep 90 | Getting To Solve Bigger Problems Than Property Management w/ Chris Weidley

    Most investors chase the easy flip, but the biggest fortunes are built by those willing to solve the hardest problems. In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, Vendoroo's Chief Evangelist, Pablo Gonzalez, sits down with developer and operator Chris Weidley to break down a radically different approach to wealth building: The Affordable Housing Thesis. Chris reveals how he pivoted from general opportunism to solving the affordable housing crisis through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and why he had to build his own property management company to treat his assets like "sports cars" rather than "rental cars." This conversation blends high-level development strategy with the operational power of AI, all grounded in a deeply held philosophy of stewardship, purpose, and sustainable impact. You’ll learn: 🏗️ Why solving massive societal shifts (like the affordable housing crisis) yields the highest returns. 🤝 How to unlock government assets and capital to revitalize entire city blocks. 🏎️ Why most PMs treat properties like rental cars and how treating them like high-performance vehicles changes the math. 🤖 Fixed-Cost Scaling: How Chris uses AI (specifically Roo) to handle the volume of affordable housing without drowning in overhead. Whether you’re a developer looking to optimize operations or a property manager looking to partner with big capital, this episode gives you the blueprint for building a business that impacts your community as much as your bottom line. 🎧 Listen now to discover how to build legacy wealth by solving society's hardest problems. 🌟 Stay Connected with Us: 🤝 Connect with Chris Weidley on LinkedIn 🎙️ Connect with Pablo Gonzalez on LinkedIn 📬Subscribe to Vendoroo's Weekly Newsletter 💼 Follow Vendoroo on LinkedIn 🌐 Visit Vendoroo's Website Chapters: 00:00 How Real Conversations Shape Real Operators 01:27 Midlife Burnout & the Hidden Cost of Running a PM Business 02:37 Saying No to Bad Doors & Bad Clients (The “Red Dress” Test) 04:07 Why Every PM Needs an Investing Thesis (Not Just a Process) 05:55 Affordable Housing: The Hardest Units… and the Biggest Opportunity 15:57 Public-Private Partnerships: A Hidden Growth Channel for Operators 19:28 Asset Management: The "Sports Car" vs. "Rental Car" Philosophy 21:44 Using AI to Break the Labor-Margin Trap 28:05 The Exit Strategy PMs Never Realize They Have 39:17 The Rooms Where PM Deals Happen (That Most PMs Never Enter) 43:09 Solving Bigger Problems Than Rent Collection 44:24 The PM Growth Hack Nobody Understands 46:45 Why Owners Choose PEOPLE, Not Portfolios 01:06:06 The Future of PM - Partnerships > Portfolios
